'i Find That Offensive!' by Claire Fox
1.0
I couldn't stand this book. I bought it as an opportunity to see the other side of the argument to which I typically stand. Boy, did that not work out.
Fox purposefully misinterprets multiple events to fit her point and fails to grasp concepts like 'privilege' and 'gaslighting'. Fox also calls sopporting GamerGate a 'perfectly legitimate opinion' with no context attached.
This book didn't offend me, it pissed me off. Fox's seething disdain for 'Generation Snowflake' drops off the page. It infected my day and wasted my money.
Minor point - Claire Fox didn't popularise the term snowflake, no matter how much she attempts to plug that line. You can look to Fight Club for that one.
